Bush, Clinton, Bush...Clinton?

This article just popped up on Yahoo and is amazing.  It's been almost 20 years since there was an American president who wasn't named Bush or Clinton.  For forty percent of Americans, that's an entire lifetime.  And depending on how things go next November, there's the potential that streak could end up being at least 24 years.  There has never been a time in American politics when two families have so dominated the White House. 

As for me, I was a Reagan baby.  ;)

Oh, please! If anyone needs to shut out of the system, it's white people. We've done far more damage, historically. lol.

Exactly. BNPers aren't looked upon very highly round these parts. Specially here in Brum, where the white are fewer in number than anyone else...

Sadly, xenophobic political groups like the BNP are on the rise throughout Europe, too. Though I don't agree with them, at least their existence injects some variety into the political process. Over here, it's all still donkey v. elephant, or more accurately, ass v. ass, IMO. ;)
